Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 144: Chapter 144: The Stubborn Man

Although Cheng Jingshu’s background investigation revealed that she wasn’t exactly clean, she was at least personally chosen by Old Master Bo as the designated fiancée of the second youngest master, and their relationship had always been quite harmonious. The CEO had always been very fond of the second youngest master.

Even though this video incident had a negative impact on Cheng Jingshu, it wasn’t beyond repair. The strength of the public relations team at Star Entertainment was well-known in the industry; they could turn black into white. Last year, a front-line celebrity at the company had an affair exposed clearly by paparazzi, and despite being hammered mercilessly, Star Entertainment Public Relations “changed the pillars for the beams” and successfully whitewashed the whole thing. Compared to that, Cheng Jingshu’s case was trivial, but the CEO didn’t even consider doing public relations for her and instead directly fired her.

Firing Cheng Jingshu, apart from winning temporary praise for Star Entertainment from the public, the only beneficiary was Ye Xian.

Moreover, the CEO investigated the Rotten Sour Plum Award for Ye Xian on the night of the Shrieking Night and the length of the call he had with Ye Xian that night was much longer than the calls with anyone else…

If it weren’t for the fact that Ye Xian was a man, he almost felt as though… as if this wasn’t an illusion of love!

“CEO, why do you protect Ye Xian?”

Pang Kai was baffled and couldn’t help asking.

Behind the desk, the man slightly lifted his long eyes, “Who said I’m protecting him?”

Pang Kai: “Isn’t canceling the contract with Cheng Jingshu and having Xiangfei Video expose the award secrets the same as our company taking Ye Xian’s side?”

“How was the Shrieking Night handled?”

“You fired Fei Yongquan, confiscated all the bribes, and handed Cheng Jingshu over to the second youngest master for handling.”

“And then?”

“And then…” Pang Kai suddenly realized, “Cheng Jingshu not only refused to accept the punishment but also arrogantly continued to target Ye Xian on the internet.”

So, the CEO meant to say that he fired Cheng Jingshu not because of Ye Xian but because Cheng Jingshu went against company regulations and defied his orders?

Indeed, in a family business like the Bo Consortium, besides the chairman, the orders of the CEO are supreme.

Pang Kai belatedly caught on: “I… I understand now.”

But why did he still vaguely feel like the CEO was protecting Ye Xian? Was it just an illusion?

Waterfall Bay, Cheng family villa.

With a sharp “slap,” a searing palm struck Cheng Jingshu’s face.

Mrs. Cheng looked at her disheveled daughter with immense fury, wishing she could slap her again, “Look at yourself, do you still look like a star? Not to mention losing to an eighteen-tier gay guy, now even the company doesn’t want you. Go to the Bo Family right now, get down on your knees and apologize! Beg the CEO to rescind his order!”

The Cheng family’s business was in real-world clothing brands, which had been battered by e-commerce platforms in recent years. If not for the support of the Bo Consortium, they would have gone bankrupt long ago.

Thinking they had secured a towering tree to lean on, they never worried about the future. They didn’t expect this unfilial daughter to be so disappointing. She hadn’t even married the Bo family’s second youngest master and Star Entertainment had already terminated her contract.

What entertainment company would dare to sign a star kicked out by Star Entertainment? Without the status of a big star, how could Cheng Jingshu still be worthy of the Bo family’s second youngest master?

“Mom!! This isn’t my fault, it’s all Ye Xian’s! It’s all Ye Xian’s fault!”

Cheng Jingshu cried until her voice was hoarse, her extreme anger making her scratch her arms until they were marked with bloody scratches.

She couldn’t believe that Star Entertainment would choose to abandon her and protect Ye Xian, that disgusting gay guy! That disgusting pest, what did he have that justified this? What gave him the right!

“Ye Xian, I’m going to kill him! I’m going to kill him!”
